The spokesperson of the Tamil National Alliance, M A Sumanthiran, said the party would support the Sri Lankan government's accountability mechanism.
"We will support accountability mechanism to make it effective," he said, addressing the launch event of the consultations process.
"The government had not only given some guarantee to the international community but also to us, and we are giving our support in matters with regard to accountability," he was quoted by Tamil Diplomat as saying.
"It is also our duty to oversee whether things are happening in accordance with the guarantees given to us. When proposals are recorded, for the reconciliation mechanism the affected people should take part and declare their opinions without hesitation. We will support to make this to be effective."
